I had a great experience with Fort Lauderdale Children’s Surgery Center! The staff was very kind, professional, and welcoming. They made sure my child was comfortable and treated us with care throughout the entire process. As a parent, having a team that makes you feel reassured and takes the time to care for your child means so much. I truly appreciate everyone who helped make the experience go smoothly. Thank you for taking such great care of my little one! I would definitely recommend this facility to other parents. ❤️

I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at Fort Lauderdale Children’s Surgery Center! ❤️ From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with so much kindness and warmth. I didn’t get the names of the two ladies at the front desk, but they were both so sweet, welcoming, and helpful with answering all of our questions. As a mother, I was extremely nervous because this was my 2-year-old son’s very first time going under general anesthesia. I was honestly terrified, but this amazing team made such a difference in calming my nerves and making us feel comfortable. Our nurse, Stephanie, was an absolute sweetheart! She was so gentle, patient, caring, and wonderful with my son. You can genuinely tell when someone loves what they do, and she showed that through the way she cared for him. Suzanne, the anesthesiologist, was just as amazing! She took the time to answer all of our questions and address every concern we had. What really gave me peace of mind was when she reassured us that she would be right there with my son the entire time. As a nervous mommy, hearing those words meant EVERYTHING to me! I truly felt that my baby was in the right hands. Even down to the little details, like the bubblegum-scented anesthesia mask, which I thought was the cutest thing ever! 🥹💕 It’s those thoughtful little touches that make such a big difference, especially when you’re dealing with little ones. It showed me how much care they put into making the experience as comfortable and child-friendly as possible. And OMG, Dr. Pena!! Absolutely AMAZING! He was so kind, gentle, and reassuring. He made us feel confident about the entire process, and the work he did on my son’s teeth was incredible! My baby has a whole new smile, and his teeth look SO beautiful and natural! I couldn’t be happier with the results! I truly cannot thank this entire team enough. From the front desk to the nurses, anesthesiologist, and dentist, everyone played a part in making what started as one of the scariest days for me as a mother turn into such a positive experience. If your child needs dental work done, especially under general anesthesia, I HIGHLY recommend this surgery center! They treated my son with kindness, compassion, and care, and that means more to me than words can express. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of my baby! ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Peña did an amazing job with my daughter’s dental work. Dr. Viola was so kind and took the time to explain step by step what was going to happen, which really helped us feel comfortable and informed. He was so welcoming and made the whole experience much easier. Nurse Khadean was also wonderful and made both my daughter and me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the visit.The front desk, especially Dahlia, was amazing as well! The entire team was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there to help us. You could truly tell that they care about their patients. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience and highly recommend this team! ❤️ Thank you Kristen Swanson

10/10 Experience as a New Mom! Isabella was his nurse SUPER sweet, calm, gentle, welcoming. The ENTIRE staff were just so amazing, I felt so safe as a parent with having my child’s life in their hands even though it was just dental work being done under anesthesia. You can tell each of them love what they do and love providing a comfortable atmosphere for the children. As early as his appointment was 6 AM, they all came in chirpy and happy which was very relaxing and joyful to see. Clear communication throughout the entire process. Dr. Carvallo, Ramona, Davidson, and our nurse Isabella THANK YOU for making this such a wonderful experience for me and my son.
